I'm tired of "tidying the house for company" meaning "remove elements that show someone lives here"

OK so to that post that I just reblogged, and the whole "cops don't protect prisoners" thing - yeah. They very much do not.

Their idea of protection is, at best, to throw the person who is in danger into solitary confinement. And then just... leaving them there for indeterminate amounts of time. Days. Weeks. Months. Years.

It is a known fact that solitary confinement can cause extreme psychological damage. That's just one article, but honestly I don't need to go much further back than 2020 to prove my point. Y'all remember having to isolate at home? Imagine if you had to spend that time in your bathroom instead, and you weren't allowed to have access to any technology or contact with another living being. No people, no pets, maybe even no window. Certainly no little gay people in your phone. Imagine having to make sure you don't go insane for days. Weeks. Months. Years.

It's literally psychological torture. It is inhumane. And the justice system calls it "protection." Nothing to stop the countless assaults every day, or the hostage situations, or the murders, or the suicides. But we'll take one of the people involved and stick em in the hole, that'll fix it. /s

I have... a lot of things I want to scream about with this, and I'm not at liberty to discuss most of it. Not my story to tell. Suffice to say the whole system is a goddamn for-profit racket, and exists only as a loophole for legal slavery in the US.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

life of regret

me: i sure hope the crows are not gonna be solely depicted in veilguard as a brave force who 'fight for all' when they are at their core a criminal organization who is known to buy children to indoctrinate them and turn them into assassins, by putting them in overcrowded warehouses and making them fight for scrapes in order not to starve, to later torture those who reach adulthood to finish their initiations and kill them anyways if they dare to try getting out

Partner is a difficult word to translate

[dykeferatu]

it’s telling when people see discussions of transmisogyny as “oppression olympics” instead of like, just factual statements about reality
